CHANDLER ARIZONA – NEWEST (and LARGEST?) MANSION
At 22,000 square feet, that’s a half an acre of house!
This Oakwood Hills home will have 10,000 square feet of entertainment space including a billiard room, bar and lounge, a basketball court and showroom garages. (Lane Bailey do you know this guy?)
The yard is “going to have a real resort feel…fire coming out of waterfalls.” There’ll be an 80 foot slide, some place in the one-half acre pool, and eight waterfalls. How about a 400 to 500 square foot grotto? A cave in the yard?
Oh, did I mention the bowling alley?
Ed Hibbert, owner of Ocotillo Construction said, “If there’s a bigger house in Chandler, no one knows about it.”
"It’s hidden away somewhere. In 25 or 30 years of building, I’ve never built a house this big.”
I'm thinking this home isn't going to be hidden away anywhere...
... when this house is finished, it will be the biggest in the neighborhood by several thousand square feet.
Being built on a $2 million piece of property, construction of the home will cost about $5 million and be completed in October 2009.
James, who likes “to keep a low profile”, calls the location of his new home “a real hidden gem” and the “nicest neighborhood he’s ever been through." James is 38, single and plans to entertain guests, in what sounds like the perfect place to do so. (BTW, James is comparing his soon to be neighborhood to places like Malibu and Beverly Hills.)
You can read the complete article in the East Valley Tribune.
Oakwood Hills is a gated community near Chandler that boasts some of the priciest homes in the Valley. The lots circle an artificial pond, complete with an island and a flock of Canadian geese.
Oakwood Hills is home to Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart and the former home of country singer Waylon Jennings.
